1982 Winchester 94 30-30 Value

[Guest redneckbiker]

Hey guys,

 

I'm thinking about buying a 1982 Winchester 94 30-30 from a guy for my son but I don't won't to pay to much. What would be a good price or price range for one that is in good to excellent condition? Thanks.

$300

[Guest redneckbiker]

Wow, really? Well, I guess I'm gonna pass on this one. He's asking $450.00

[gregintenn]

I'd pass. If it were pre 1964, it would be worth a second look.

Some gun prices are regional.  Gunbroker which is the U.S. market, has general run of the mill 94s, in the mid to high 300s.  Everyone knows GB is higher than the local market on most items.   Here is a link:  http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=winchester+94+new

I don't think so. The only new production 94 Winchester is a high grade gun made by Miruku in Japan, and is around the thousand dollar mark.

Not Winchester, probably Marlin.

I like the Marlin's better than the Winchesters, well post-64's anyway.

Rossi's are another lever-gun manufacturer that I am starting to warm up to, fit & finish could be better on them but they seem to shoot pretty decently.

If youre exploring lever gun options. You might want to consider scope mounting options. Marlins are slightly easier since they are side eject vs Winchester and most Rossi.

After a certain date, I'm not sure what it was but the are marked accordingly, the 94's were angle eject, and allow for a top mounted scope. That being said, a scope on a 94 is akin to a screen door on a submarine to me. A good receiver sight might be in order, but not a scope.
